I watched a TV documentary about how animals are farmed, killed and prepared for us to eat. I saw all those cows and pigs and realized I couldn't be a part of it any more. It was horrible. I did some research to make sure I could still obtain enough protein to fight and, once satisfied that I could, I stopped. I'll never go back.
I believe I'm a born winner. I always think about winning.
I abstain from any kind of release for six weeks before a fight, no self-pleasure, nothing. Even in my dreams, I'll be about to have sex with a beautiful girl and I'll say, 'Sorry darling, I'm fighting in a few weeks.' That's control, bro, when you're turning down a hot chick in your subconscious.
I normally get paid tens of millions of pounds to fight and I ended up fighting for free. I don't like fighting for free.
I had to beat him up in front of everybody for threatening me.
Put all your eggs in one basket. Then you're less likely to drop that basket.
He could've had Jesus, Buddha, he could have had every God in his corner, it wouldn't have helped him against me.
You forget why you're fighting - you can lose sight of why you're doing it all.
I realised nothing was permanently broken, I needed to take control and make changes.
I don't know who he (Wladimir) was trying to impress in that homo-erotic video of his doing bicep-curls. It didn't impress me.
If someone burgles your house, and you knock them out, are you gonna apologize for knocking them out? No you're not, you're gonna stomp on their head, just like any other normal person would.
In between training sessions, I'll often watch DVDs of King Kong, Godzilla or Frankenstein, just to keep my mind on the task in hand and remind myself of the magnitude of the challenge.
To be a successful boxer, the last thing you need to be doing is turning up to the gym stoned. You're going to get beaten up if you do that.
One of my favourite fighters was Lennox Lewis - he got out at number one. A fight with the winner of the Wladimir Klitschko and Anthony Joshua fight would put me at number one.
I watched a Katie Taylor interview, really interesting and then Eddie Hearn barges in! "Oi, hello, apples and pears!" You should be promoting your fighters, not yourself. Technically I'm more of a promoter than you are.
My depression was mild, and I could treat it by myself and pick myself up again. But some people aren't that lucky.
I don't believe you've seen the best of The Hayemaker yet. I want to leave on the top of the game. Recognised as the best heavyweight fighter on the planet, then I can hang the gloves back up in peace.
If there was a new Chris Eubank coming through, it wouldn't happen, because Eddie would jump in front of them and make it about the Eddie Hearn show. Where's the Naseem Hamed of today? He doesn't allow them to flourish.
When you're training you go to the gym when it's dark, you leave when it's dark. You push your body to the limit and it really gets on top of you.
He's got one of the best chins I've ever hit in my life. I was catching him and he was smiling at me, he was eating them. He's a great fighter, he'll be champion one day.
If I had a hotdog in my hand, he would've had tomato ketchup on his face.
He is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. I have watched Lord of the Rings and films with strange looking people, but for a human being to look like he does is pretty shocking.
The Klit brothers should first fight each other, and the winner should fight me.
[Some young athletes] get home, look at social media, and they have thousands of people ripping it out of them, telling them that they're terrible at their profession, they hope they lose their next match or fight.It's hugely negative and unless you can rise above it and pay no attention, it can have a very serious impact on that person's state of mind.
I said that I was gonna smash him in three rounds, and that's what I did.
